When referring to oneself, it has to be ore-dono, right?

Will using boku make me sound too polite? It doesn't feel right for me to use ore, and watashi is too long. I don't know what to use.

Use "Boku".

>>6281480
Girls get an easy word they can use in all situations: watashi. Guys, on the other hand, have to pick between Ore and Boku. This is no coincidence. Japanese society requires you to identify yourself as an alpha or beta male every time you refer to yourself. Go on, beta faggot, use boku.

Why would I ever use anything other than atashi?

Or referring to myself in third person with -chan

Use "わたくし" whenever you speak to a japanese person and enjoy appearing to be a polite and amiable foreigner

Why would you ever refer to yourself; in Japanese you can elide "I" or "You" in just about any situation without causing confusion.

-dono is used as a suffix typically for warriors, I wouldn't recommend ever using it.

For that matter, I wouldn't recommend ever using Japanese advice found on 4chan, especially on /jp/. I've been seeing a lot of it today and most of it is pure shit.

9 times out of 10 you're going to want to refer to yourself as 'watashi' if you're an adult.

>> No.6281578

>>6281551

And in not so short...

Dono, when attached to a name, roughly means "lord" or "master". It doesn't equate noble status; rather it is a term akin to "milord" or French "monseigneur," and lies between san and sama in level of respect. This title is not commonly used in daily conversation, but it is still used in some types of written business correspondence, as well as on certificates and awards, and in written correspondence in tea ceremonies.

When used in conversation in present day it is often used as a joke expressing an exaggeration of age.

Dude, you're the one sounding like a tool now.

>> No.6281734

Normal people use 私(Watashi)　in most cases. If you're male and you want to express annoyance, confidence, or anger, use 僕(Boku). Boku is also acceptable for females and is polite when singing. Boku is also used by male children as their standard 'I' word.

Watashi IS NOT just for women. Thats Atashi (Same kanji).

No clue. All I know is that it's another word for 'I', and I think that it's also impolite. But I could be wrong.
